Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out

Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don’t know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses

And as long as they get updated, it’ll be fine. Probably cheaper than Y2K. Note that medical and industrial control stuff generally doesn’t care about the date

On 32 bit computers

Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?

Surely one could use the same exploit to restore the original boot code as the malware used to corrupt it

Everything is under control

That says you cannot replace individual broken cells in a Tesla pack. That doesn’t say you can’t replace the pack

Aren’t all the cells worn in a ten year old battery?

My car wouldn’t have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

But that’s also not because it’s electric.

The best thing to do with a tarball is to bzip it

My government agency when hiring all the roles in an IT team put those sort of stupid ranges in the headline, but if you drill down to a specific role you see the actual range

So about 1d8 con damage instantly then 1d2 con daily.

Melee area effect weapons. There’s a wand of fireball in Balders Gate 3 that is bent and has melee range. This is like that, but the fire is only analogous to fire and the effect lasts longer and does damage slower

People also look at it as an example of how identifiable people are right now.

This might even provide cover for those with real nude photos circulating

It uses Google’s speech to text. As far as you can tell it is a recorded message saying that it’s Google’s call screening system and to give your name and why you’re calling and voice to text to tell you what they say

Then when you hang up it says goodbye to them.

I think the product that was supposed to be AI was the booking assistant

On pixel phones the Android assistant can filter calls for you

It’s surprising when people follow the machine’s instructions and state who they are and why they are calling. It’s not a menu system, but it gets maybe the best 30% of the effect

• Cars
• Fossil fuels
• Combine harvesters (especially if you’re a small creature)

There is nothing you can’t uninstall on Linux. Linux distros, let alone desktop environments, really can’t qualify as bloat

There are even enough mainstream distros to let you choose one that meets your needs with little or nothing you need to trim
